The scope in the INTELCITIES project for the use of the 3D laser scanner (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Arayici, Y., Hamilton, A., Albergaria, P., & Gamito, G. (2004, September). The scope in the INTELCITIES project for the use of the 3D laser scanner. Presented at The Fourth International Conference on Engineering Computational Technology, Lisbon, Portugal

The difficulty in visualising 2D plans of building elements and components brings about errors in interpreting design specifications in terms of accuracy, completeness. Besides, accessibility is another major problem encountered by surveyors. A numb... Read More about The scope in the INTELCITIES project for the use of the 3D laser scanner.

CFD modelling of atrium-assisted natural ventilation (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., Cook, M., & Hunt, G. (2004, September). CFD modelling of atrium-assisted natural ventilation. Presented at The 9th International Conference on Air Distribution in Rooms, University of Coimbra, Portugal

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to model buoyancy-driven airflows has always proved challenging. This work investigates CFD modelling of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation flows in a single-storey space connected to an atrium. Th...
